Contemporary psychoanalytic thinking about the interdependence of
subjectivity and intersubjectivity has reenvisioned the analytic
process, and with it the very nature of creative and engaged
psychoanalytic listening. Yet few systematic writings on
psychoanalytic listening or technique provide comprehensive
instruction that would prepare the analyst for the kind of analytic
listening needed to participate imaginatively in this sort of
intersubjective experience.Offering a short course in analytic
listening, Creative Listening and the Psychoanalytic Process
provides a guide for the clinical uses of imaginative literature.
Outside the psychoanalytic literature, extraordinary pieces of
imaginative literature exist that provide the kind of experience in
analytic listening that can guide clinicians in their work with
patients. Certain works of fiction create textured, sensory worlds
in which complex characters possessing shifting states of
consciousness live within fluid emotional atmospheres. In this
book, Fred Griffin demonstrates that by entering the worlds that
original writers create in their texts, the psychoanalytic
therapist will learn to attend more closely to varying emotional
states that generate nuanced, multidimensional views of the
analysand's internal and relational worlds. He illustrates how
these works capture more fully the sensory experience encountered
by psychoanalysts when taking in what the patient communicates
within the analytic space. Creative Listening and the
Psychoanalytic Process presents case material alongside selected
passages from works of fiction written by a range of creative
writers, each of which stimulates analytic sensibility about this
clinical experience. A conceptual framework is provided that makes
these and other original works of fiction more accessible for these
purposes. This book will be essential reading for psychoanalysts
and psychoanalytic psychotherapists, as well as professors and
graduate students studying psychoanalysis and literature. It will
also appeal to literary scholars and those teaching and practicing
in the field of narrative medicine.
